The adventure continues. The SCSI2SD, in PowerBook flavor, arrived yesterday. On the left is the original drive. You can see they share similar dimensions, but also, critically, the same teensy SCSI pin pitch.pic.twitter.com/jdGVGCis25

I’ve got the System 7.5 installer copied over onto the drive, but it’s not a working boot disk yet.
I’ve gone soft in my old age and missed a magnetic tool near the bootable floppy I set up. So it’s time for a fresh one
Now we see if the PowerBook wants to live again.pic.twitter.com/GGCpgaanxV
We are booted to the desktop. Boot floppy worked and there’s the new SCSI2SD drive When I got in there, one of the pins was blocked—for orientation reasons. But the SCSI2SD’s pins didn’t have a corresponding gap Not wanting to damage the new drive, I heated up my soldering ironpic.twitter.com/WH0P20Zz2E
I used the tip to melt a gap back into the internal SCSI cable.
First time around it wouldn’t boot—wrong orientation.
But after flipping it around, all’s well. Somehow this worked out
Let’s see if installation works.
It’s… not so much happening as about to happen. I wonder what this stage was for. Disk checking?pic.twitter.com/5MeIj47hQv
Very potent nostalgia, seeing the System 7-era installerpic.twitter.com/HYJwYzT87h
Still working to get the 6116 back in shape meanwhile. I forgot how ugly the Performa software restore app was.pic.twitter.com/gKGRQ1Geu1
Many of these steps have read “copying” but for the System file, it’s “building.” I wonder if the System file gets optimized to trim out things like color resources when the machine only supports greyscale.pic.twitter.com/c8XBLFxmUc
There we go! Control strip and everything. Time to seal up the enclosure again.pic.twitter.com/iTl8u9o130
